I like the concept of traitors and most episodes I've seen ( Aus, UK & US ) are very entertaining. However Aus series 2 stands out above so many of the others .
That for me is due to various reasons. The competitors speak more bluntly and the humour , at times a little hard , is very much to my taste . It's well presented and the quips and comments do give a chuckle.
As with all the traitors series some of the challenges can be a little bit "it's a knockout" and tedious but the real fun is people watching.
Aus series 2 has to go down as the one with the highest proportion of gullible easily led faithfuls ever and that makes for fascinating viewing . They formulate a plan , one persuasive person speaks up at the round table and it all goes out of the window with some random faithful faithful getting booted. Frustrating , amusing and entertaining all in one breath.
That brings me to the traitors . Sam in particular is probably the least likeable traitor you don't want to take the cash ever. His arrogance and self belief knows no bounds. Amusingly in the nail biting last10 min of the finale he fails big time , his downfall , at the hands of the recruited traitor he was seeking to use and abuse but judged so badly . His bemused petulance and the fact he couldn't believe he'd failed whilst trying to blame his nemesis for that failure was the best ending ever and still gives me a chuckle.
Even the closing narrative referred to it as a warning.
Great fun to watch . I've only knocked it down from 10 to 9 because I usually go get a cup of tea during the uninteresting screamathons that are called challenges .
